Gaza Strip battle rages on

Palestinians walk through the rubble of damaged houses minutes after they were hit in an Israeli strike, in Gaza City, Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Offering the first glimmer of hope for a Gaza cease-fire, the United States on Wednesday said negotiations to broker a truce between Israel and Hamas militants made some progress even if an end to more than two weeks of bloodshed is nowhere near. More than 630 Palestinians and about 30 Israelis have been killed in the violence.
